Weekend Movie Guide: '21 And Over' Totally Looks Hilarious

Opening Everywhere:21 and Over, Jack the Giant Slayer, The Last Exorcist Part II

FilmDrunk Suggests: Haven’t you seen the commercials for 21 and Over? It looks hilaaaaaaaaaaarious. I mean, it’s totally going to be an accurate portrayal of college life that has never been told before. I, for one, can’t wait. I’m even bringing a bucket of ice, because I expect to laugh my dick off.

Oh Millicent Gergich, why are you hanging out with Dane Cook, Jr.?

Gratuitous Review Quotes

“Lucas and Moore don’t bother to come up with a single funny joke. Instead they apparently hope that combining racist and sexist insults with unfocused mayhem will be diversion enough.” – Elizabeth Weitzman, N.Y. Daily News

“Although it often feels there’s more of mechanics than the muse keeping Jack the Giant Slayer going, this sprightly fairy tale reworking is full of beans, smartly written and packs plenty of fun.” – Linda Barnard, Toronto Sun

Armchair Analysis: Okay, so I was all set to give this movie a chance, because it was directed by Bryan Singer and written by Christopher McQuarrie (among others). Plus, it stars Ewan McGregor and Nicholas Hoult, who has a bright future ahead of him. But then I caught that one stupid line in the TV commercial that has just been rattling around in my head like a BB in a tin can – “ARE YOU READY?” Can we please stop this? Stop using silly modern slang and catchphrases in fantasy movies, please. Thanks.

I forgot I made this. I love it.

Gratuitous Review Quotes

“A sure-handed sequel, but not a terribly thrilling one.” – My old college newspaper colleague William Goss, Film.com

Armchair Analysis: I’m not going to see this yet, because I want to wait for The Last Exorcist III: Seriously, This Is The Last One to come out next year so I can watch them in a row.

The Giant is voice by Bill Nye the Science Guy. If you can’t support a movie that is starring a man whose TV show taught science to really poor public schools in Canada because their science teachers knew nothing about science, then you are a creationist!

21 and over will probably be better than most people think. Comedies for brain dead teens always get terrible reviews.

I was always curious why they insisted on calling him by his full name in all the commercials. “Jeff Chang! Jeff Chang? Jeff Chang!” Are asians only identifiable by their full names to upper middle class white people now?
